Memphis's Isaiah Stewart has a moderate left ankle sprain from Monday's game in Atlanta and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, so he misses the rest of preseason and the start of the season (Oct 21). Bulls forward Matas Buzelis rolled his right ankle after a block against Memphis but expects to play Sunday in Denver. Kawhi Leonard isn't expected to make his Raptors re-debut before next week at the earliest.
